Optimal solar panel setup factorio.
And there you go an optimal real system of solar panels and accumulators for any network.
I stand by what i said in the previous post.
Let s say that our factory is using an average power p and that we want to power it only with solar panels and accumulators.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
Perfectly work for covering the laser turrets spikes now.
You can always sacrifice a bit of the optimal ratio for a cleaner design but you should stay in the area of 0 8 0 9.
As for which to actually pick i d say it s up to your preference cilya s design with accumulators instead of a roboport is the only one with perfect 0 86 ratio among popular designs used by factorio players.
Side effect if 3 solar panels 1 accumulator can cover whole outpost needs works with angels and bob s mods should work with xander mod omnizelos mod s pyanodons mod s as well.
Since solar panel are the only outpur of electricity they need to generate during a whole day enough energy e sol to provide an average power p during this time.
How to compute the optimal accumulator solar panel ratio.
Though in all honesty you probably aren t ready for solar panels yet if the cost bothers you.
Find blueprints for the video game factorio.
Using n s 8 in the second equation n a is calculated at 5 62 which rounds up to 6.
Looks like 912 accumulators to 16 solar panels which is a 0 560 75 ratio.
The solar panel was added because you can now separate the accumulator from your main electricity.
For a radar n s is calculated at 7 14 which rounds up to 8.
I suppose you could try to make a new ideal setup to use fewer substations but i don t think it s worth it to save the cost of a substation or two.
That is why that electrical grid uses 8 solar panels and 6 accumulators.
The optimal ratio is 0 84 thus a more ideal setup would be 21 accumulators to 25 solar panels.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
Here is a quite popular blueprintable design by madzuri.
